I just converted my 120 back to a African tank. Here's a list of what I put in it.
Nimbrochromis Venustus X5
Melanochromis Auratus X5
Cobalt Blue Zebra X6
Labidochromis Sp. "Pearl mut" X6
Aulonocara Jacobreibergi "Otter Point" X6
Do any of you have any ideas of things I should change or add. I'm hoping not to have any cross breeding going on.

I would be worried about the Auratus and the Cobalt Blue (I have had bad luck with them being bullies). Even without the mbunas, it will be overstocked when they grow out. I have two Otter Points, and they get big by peacock standards (7"). Venustus can get 10". 6x7" and 5x10" is too much fish for a 120 in my opinion.

For full disclosure, my brother accuses me of understocking my tanks.
 
When they grow a little more I was planning on getting rid of some of the males. I'm hoping to be able to do one male with 3 or more females of each.
